So sorry to hear that.

Since the AD fiasco folks may not realize it but the Pelicans franchise has been given to Randle and he's beasted since....he's no slouch or scrub going off because of poor defense..he's actually really good

Randle has the same advantage ZBO had as they are both left handed and it is harder to guard lefties due to the lack of quality lefties in the league.

Sorry to hear that HG. I lost my mom at the age of 61 and a sister and brother in law recently at the age of 64. Even though they all had a reasonably long life, it was still way too soon. My prayers are with you and her family.

I can readily admit that Randle is a good player, I really wanted him here. The defense at times was bad though. He’s obviously capable of scoring but in the 1st half (especially the 1st quarter) the Blazers were not paying attention to details, and were not making it hard on him.

edit: All that said and the outcome is what we wanted, just gotta get W’s at this point.

No such thing as a bad win.

That does NOT mean that discussing the details of the game is off limits.

Randle is good player and he been having a good year so last night didn't surprised me he went off without their 2 best players.

 

[Cugel]

why again did LA let Randle go?
I am baffled

Sorry, man. That's bad news.

Because Magic runs his basketball operation like he coached not very good. Just because he was a great success as a player doesn't mean he will have success trying run a team.

I am astonished by the Stotts hate. The Blazers just won two road games against teams fighting for playoff position. What is the problem? Yes, Randle scored a lot but Pelicans were without their leading scorers so he got their share of shots.

I said it before, Blazers win championship and people here will complain they didn't sweep. Blazers sweep and they will complain games too close. Blazers blow out Eastern champion and they will complain Stotts is wearing an ugly tie.

Who's hating on Stotts? The people saying we shouldve guarded Randle a little differently so he didnt score 45 points? Im confused.
